Families Helping Families NOLA hosts annual event

FHF NOLA hosted its annual Wade Verges Champion Awards reception on Wednesday, April 3, at Jones Walker. The organization honored Amy and Sherwood Collins and Patricia Ventura for their continued service to children with special challenges.

The event featured music for FHF NOLA’s own Prism Project, an inclusive performing arts program for children with and without special needs. The group provided entertainment, singing and playing drums (and pool noodles) for award recipients and guests.

Sponsors for the event included Davis Maloney Fund, Jones Walker, Gambel Communications, Liskow & Lewis, Angel Wings Foundation, Hancock Whitney, Morris Jeff Community School and Adam Hawf.
